Karate Kids - a Bafta Nomination!

Good luck to John Walsh (Walsh Bros) the Bafta's this weekend with his BBC documentary: Karate Kids.  Producer/Director of this documentary; John has been nominated for a Bafta in the Childrens Factual category and Sweet Pictures will be crossing fingers and toes for the win. Don from Sweet Pictures was the director of photography on this documentary and it was edited by our good friend Si at Green Rock.

Karate Kids, narrated by David Tennant, follows the lives of two mates who have cerebral palsy.
One young man has more ability to communicate than the other, so between them they help each other out and have a good laugh along the way. It's a really touching insight into the world of young people and their tough attitudes to life. Good luck John!
